Titles are (in order of artist) 'Parklands, North Adelaide', 'Adelaide', 'Springtime in the Botanic Gardens', 'Street Stall', and Untitled. These portfolios were not made available for sale, and in the intervening thirty years, only a few examples of just two of the prints have made it into the sales records.
